the ends of the longitudinal veins. Venation: the spur in cell 

 1st Mi completely traverses the cell (as in E. bipartita O. S.). 



Abdominal tergites yellowish-brown, the lateral margin 

 darker. Basal sternites yellow, the apical sternites more 

 brownish. 



Conosia irrorata (Wied.). 



Kioto, May 25, 1914 (Nohira). 



Crypteria japonica Alex. 



No specific data, but possibly Kioto (Nohira). 



Female. — Length, 7.3 mm.; wing, 8-8.8 mm. 



Rostrum, palpi, head and antennse light yellow. Antennae 

 with the two basal flagellar segments united into a fusion- 

 segment, there being twelve segments beyond it. 



Thorax yellow. Halteres yellow. Legs yellow, the tips of 

 the femora and tibia? narrowly darkened; tarsi yellowish- 

 brown. Wings subhyaline; veins brown, the costal and sub- 

 costal veins more yellowish, especially near the base of the 

 wings. Venation: r barely evident; Rs strongly arcuated; 

 second anal veins ending opposite about mid-length of the 

 sector. 



Abdominal tergites dull yellow, the basal third to half of 

 the segments brown; sternites yellow. 



Nesopeza geniculata, sp. n. 



Similar to the genotype, N. gracilis (de Meij.) but somewhat 

 smaller (wing of the female, 9.2 mm.). The wings of the teneral 

 type specimen are not fully colored but the distinctive pattern 

 is well indicated. The ground-color is gray, of a paler shade 

 than the dark costal margin which is narrowly bordered behind 

 by a hyaline line; the dark seams along the cord, at the origin 

 of the sector and at the base of the wing are broader; the 

 hyaline spot in cell 2nd Ri is trapezoidal in shape, not elongate- 

 oval as in gracilis; a small hyaline drop in the end of cell Rf,. 

 The venation. is quite distinct. The radial cross- vein is but 

 little longer than the tip of i^i beyond it ; the forks of the medial 

 veins are very short and shallow, not of the deep, narrow type 

 oi gracilis; vein jVfi is no longer than M1+2 alone, in A^. gracilis 

 it is longer than 4i^ beyond the r-m cross-vein and before the 

 last fork, / .
